Due to a lack of formed District teams, the first day trip for the y5 team saw a long journey to Hull take place. Team selection was made difficult by having four defenders unavailable.

The ‘A; match saw Felling being put under pressure for a lot of the first half. They found it difficult to control a very lively Hull centre forward. Chances were limited and best piece of football in the half saw the ball fall to captain Adam Motteshead whose shot went wide. Defenders getting pulled out of place and a lack of offside experience contributed to Hull scoring.

The second half saw Felling improve greatly and were clearly the better side. Matthew Fisher, Lewis Gibbons and Daniel Young all had shots. Good movement and passing saw the ball reach Matthew Fisher whose fierce cross missed Lewis and was coolly finished by Jack Doherty. Some excellent tackles were put in by stand in right back Gregg Wallace.

It was the other way around in the ‘B’ match against Hull ‘A’ – a good first half but a poorer second half. Chances fell to Matt Atkinson Liam Willis and Jordan Lee. Daniel Gray pulled off an outstanding point blank save to deny Hull in the first half.

In the second half, Felling were put under real pressure as Hull put their excellent strikeforce back on. It looked like the team were going to hold out for a 0-0 draw until Hull got two goals in the last few minutes when Felling didn’t attack the ball properly.
